Fan

Fan (2016) is a Bollywood action thriller you can watch online, directed by Maneesh Sharma and starring Shah Rukh Khan in a double role — as both a legendary film superstar and Gaurav, the small-town obsessive who mirrors him almost exactly.

Gaurav has spent his whole life imitating his idol, down to the way he walks and talks. When he travels to Mumbai expecting a meeting that will change everything, he gets turned away — and that rejection flips something inside him. What begins as devotion becomes a precise, calculating campaign to take the star apart, reputation first, career second.

Shah Rukh Khan pulled off both performances using motion-capture technology and heavy prosthetics, never relying on a body double. The film works best as a psychological thriller about the dangerous line between admiration and projection — and it asks some uncomfortable questions about celebrity culture along the way.
